~ VERY reader Of the TEIEsaAN-H n ER-

Of the growth Of tbe population of this bus
ting Town sst % prettily between the bluffs
thaf enclose this beautiful valley. Indeed,
the Directory sets forth IN words what this
paper has maintained from its inception
that Grand Rapids would have 10000 with

Every town TO the north OF us should re-
'oice at the splendid growth OF this thriving
city. Every railroad that Is built to Grand
Rapids. every brick block that goes up ard
every new business that is started here
unakss property in Cedar Springs or Cadillac
or Petoskey. SO much more valuable. Our
interests are theirs and theirs are ours.
And the boom Of the Valley is echoed all
along through the woods and by the lakes,
TIE bsy<. the islands and streams Of the
North. Myrizds Of people are rushing to
our cool and delightful Northlsnd. That
model managed railroad. the Grand Rapids
a Indiana, never before carried so many
passengers Heretofore two sleeping cars
have been enough, but the present business
requires i've Woodruff slsepers every night.
